I've been amazed at how much fun sewing is, to the point of becoming an obsession. I love the details you provide in your blog, and I always get a smile or chuckle from your comments. Your finished outfits are truly insiring (I like the blouse both with and without the ruffles). Thanks so much for taking the time to blog about your sewing projects! <br /><br />P.S.

I know that interfacing technique has been around a LONG time, like maybe from when SewNews was extra large, and on manila paper. (The Dark Ages.) It still works, though. :)Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-3999407363789692742011-06-07T00:03:29.550-04:002011-06-07T00:03:29.550-04:00LOL!

I will have to remember that option the next time!<br />That's really the best thing about sewing.

Your blouse,...This is a very amusing post. Thanks!<br /> Your blouse, whilst only distantly related to Burda's, looks terrific. I admire your button loop salvage. <br />I just used that clean fused facing technique for the first time, and am a big fan. I cut off the fusable in the seam allowance after sewing though - I was concerned that my garment would be too stiff with 4 layers in the seam.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-83976585250313043662011-06-05T14:48:38.606-04:002011-06-05T14:48:38.606-04:00Very, very nice!
